  • Faircourt, the Kusers, and the Somerset Hills in the “Gilded Age”
    FAIRCOURT, THE KUSERS, AND THE SOMERSET HILLS IN THE “GILDED AGE” The communities comprising the Somerset Hills were fundamentally changed following the arrival of the railroad in Bernardsville in 1872 and the subsequent development of the large and luxurious summer resort hotel, the Somerset Inn, on the Bernardsville–Mendham Road. Both factors were key to exposing the area to prominent and affluent families from New York and Newark, many of whom liked what they saw and decided to stay. The original Bernardsville railroad station, from 1872 to 1901-02. It was later moved and is now the Bernardsville News office. The Somerset Inn started as a boarding house in 1870, and grew to become a large and luxurious summer resort hotel hosting up to 400 guests. It burned to the ground in 1908. Except for the periodic excitement created by soldiers in the area during the American Revolution, what had long been a quiet, peaceful and relatively isolated area consisting of small family farms and quaint villages was transformed during the last quarter of the nineteenth century and the first decades of the twentieth into a colony of large and elaborate estates. These properties were designed by some of the country’s most prominent architects and landscape architects for a new class of financiers and industrialists who had amassed enormous fortunes in the years following the Civil War. Although the increasingly crowded, noisy and grimy urban centers were the principal sources of this vast new wealth, these business moguls sought out the open and beautiful rolling countryside of New Jersey as a retreat from the city and a way to capture—and in many ways to create from scratch—what they saw as the fading ideal of the bucolic life.

  • Bernardsville Historic Downtown Walking Tour
    BERNARDSVILLE, NJ HISTORIC DOWNTOWN WALKING TOUR Presented by the Historic Preservation Advisory Committee (HPAC) & Friends of Historic Bernardsville (FHB) 2017 By Valerie Barnes, Eileen Grippo and Sheila Miller. Editorial assistance was provided by Jean Hill, Jane Hurwitz and Dan Lincoln. Layout by Meredith Miller. Photos and illustrations are from the Bernardsville Public Library Local History Collection unless otherwise noted. Many thanks to the wonderful Bernardsville Public Library Local History Room volunteers for their tireless efforts to keep Bernardsville history alive! INTRODUCTION Today’s downtown Bernardsville still fits in the footprint of the town of 100 years ago. This walking tour looks at the origins of Bernardsville, and how trends in architecture, transportation and innovation have shaped the downtown we know today. The area contains structures from the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries, and while some are mostly intact, others have changed significantly. Within each lies a fascinating story of the development of an American town. HISTORICAL CONTEXT BERNARDSVILLE Bernardsville, originally called Vealtown, was first settled along a stream called Mine Brook in 1736. It was one of several small farming and trading hamlets that formed at crossroads and loosely clustered around the slightly larger town of Basking Ridge. During the American Revolution Continental troops moved throughout the area, and in 1777 General Washington’s troops marched through town after the Battle of Princeton, on route to Morristown. Vealtown became Ber- nardsville in 1840, named for Sir Francis Bernard, the Colonial governor of New Jersey. In the years following the Civil War, and with the arrival of the railroad in 1872, wealthy New Yorkers began purchasing tracts of land upon which to build luxurious summer residences.
